What to Wear to (Pretty Much) Every Occasion
Figuring out what to wear to everything from special occasions like weddings to job interviews can be a bit confusing—especially as some events have become more casual (and others definitely have not.) And there are a lot of these types of occasions to navigate—weddings, baptisms, networking events, funerals, job interviews, barbecues, holiday parties, baby and bridal showers. What you wear also depends on other factors: the venue, the formality of the invite, the weather, and often what everyone else plans to wear. Put an end to the what-do-I-wear dilemma once and for all with this breakdown of every imaginable event dress code from Real Simple fashion editors and fashion experts.
